YouTube launches Audio Library with Royalty Free Music for Video Creators

YouTube just launched their Audio Library.

The Audio Library is filled with music which can be used to create videos. The videos can then be shared on YouTube or elsewhere.

The following is taken from YouTube’s Terms of Use:

Additional terms and conditions

Your use of this music library (including the music files in this library) is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service. Music from this library is intended solely for use by you in videos and other content that you create.

By downloading music from this library, you agree that you will not:

  • Make available, distribute or perform the music files from this library separately from videos and other content into which you have incorporated these music files (but not for standalone distribution).
  • Use music files from this library in an illegal manner or in connection with any illegal content.

Just follow the terms stated in the Additional Terms and Conditions noted above, of YouTube’s Terms of Service and you can add the music available in the Audio Library to your videos.

No worries about any Royalty payments.

No worries about getting your video pulled, due to copyright infringement of the music.

I have often said that “Google is your friend”. Google owns YouTube.

Thanks Google.

Thanks YouTube.
